Four Point Improper Passing Ticket Amended to Zero Point Ticket

For those of us who pursue this thought, you may find yourself in a precarious position if a police officer witnesses your actions and pulls you over.

Speeding and Reckless Driving Tickets Dismissed

As you or may not be aware, Speeding (N.J.S.A. 39:4-98) and Reckless Driving (N.J.S.A. 39:4-96) tickets often go hand-in-hand. If you are caught driving at a high rate of speed (101 MPH in a 65 MPH zone for instance), then the officer may, in addition to a Speeding ticket, issue you a traffic ticket for Reckless Driving based on the fact that your high rate of speed demonstrated a "willful or wanton disregard of the rights or safety of others, in a manner so as to endanger, or likely to endanger, a person or property." When judges see Speeding and Reckless driving tickets side-by-side, they are likely going to consider a suspension of your driving privileges for up to ninety (90) days, in addition to any fines and the ten (10) points the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission will assess. These penalties and repercussions seem vastly disproportionate for one minor instance of [...]

Third Cell Phone Ticket Amended to Delaying Traffic

Cell Phone Ticket License Suspension Since July 1, 2014, clients have been calling to obtain the services of my office for their cell phone violations. The reason why is because on July 1, 2014, the New Jersey Legislature amended the "hand-held portable electronic device" (i.e. cell phone) traffic violation. Specifically, they altered the punishments for such an offense by increasing the fines for second and third offenders, three (3) points on your drivers license for a third or subsequent offense, as well as implementing a license suspension for those individuals who have three of more cell phone ticket offenses. This often comes as a surprise to many residents since, in the past, officers, prosecutors and judges have openly accepted these pleas without advice on enhancing penalties since none existed before 2014. Many individuals find it unfair (and rightfully so) that they are now facing a loss of license when no [...]
